[C320-list] FW: Repowering- engine choices (Bernie Garrett)

[Kirk McCullough]

Black smoke could be the exhaust elbow, $300.00 and leaking oil is normally
a gasket or two.

Thanks,

 

Posted earlier in another message,  we have 3500hr on the engine which is
leaking oil like a sieve and has black smoke coloured exhaust. Rebuild parts
are available but not all are easy to get, and no-one is interested n doing
the job, the prices I have been quoted so far are over 50% of a new engine
and the conventional wisdom of most is if it costs that much re-power,

 

Cheers 
Bernie
